EOS Ice Green Lenses {Sponsored by MukuCHU}

Hi hi~ I hope everyone is well ^.^ I realise that I haven't shown pictures of myself on a blog post in quite a long time and I don't know whether it's a good or bad thing for my readers (it's probably good lol jk) but now I have a legit reason to show myself again... yay for circle lens reviews! Thank you to one of my sponsors MukuCHU for providing me with these new lenses - I really like them and I hope you'll all enjoy reading my review~



I usually show at the start of the official lens model but since there is none, it is I :P

POWER/PRESCRIPTION: 0.00 (Plano) to -10.00
LENS USAGE:
UP TO 1 YEAR
SHELF LIFE:
3 YEARS
MANUFACTURER / ORIGIN:
SOUTH KOREA
MATERIALS:
2Hema
B.C.:
8.6mm
DIAMETER:
14.80mm
WATER CONTENT:
38%

The pattern/design:

So as you can tell by the name, the design is like the appearance of ice in a coloured way. Not that I have seen coloured ice before... but you can sort of imagine it to be like the images above. There is a really thin limbal ring around the lenses so the lenses don't give that much of a doll-like effect however as the lenses are 14.8mm, they do still make the eyes appear bigger. Bigger in a more 'natural' way I suppose. Looking closely to the pattern I can see the two tones of green which is not only pretty but also more effective for blending in with my naturally dark eyes. I love how they give off this really sultry look.

Natural lighting, no makeup.
Left = with lens
Right = without lens

The colour:

Yes I love green eyes and I don't think I've ever seen anyone with this shade of green for their eyes naturally... but I reckon this is the perfect green for lenses on dark eyes! Any lighter it would look unnatural for blending and any darker it would be hard to notice. I am so impressed with the blending... it doesn't make me look like a green-eyed alien. Though others may think otherwise, like people who are against wearing circle lenses 'cause they think they look creepy or something -_-




Comfort:

Those who have worn circle lenses or have read many reviews would already know that EOS lenses are usually thinner than other brands and thus tend to be more comfortable! These lenses were extremely comfortable despite its large diameter.

Other angles



I wore some blue eyeshadow to complement the green lenses. Which reminds me - I haven't done a FOTD look or a tutorial in so long... maybe I should again?



FOTD products used:
Face of Australia Face Base Primer
Maybelline FITme Foundation in 220 Natural Beige
Manicare Precision Blending Sponge
Australis Eye Pencil in Blackest Black
Dolly Wink Black Liquid Eyeliner
QVS Eyelash Curler
Ardell LashGrip Eyelash Adhesive
Daiso Lashes in No. 205 (thanks Jen)
Taiwan Handmade Bottom Lashes in 030
Nutrimetics Lash Lightning Mascara
Face of Australia Blusher in Outback Terra
Maybelline Volume XL Selection Plumping Lipcolour in 140 Petal Attraction


I also noticed that these lenses looked sort of dark blue under yellow-ish lighting! Which makes sense because yellow and blue mixed together make green, and green and yellow mixed together make blue. I couldn't get it the way I wanted to on camera under yellow lighting so instead I captured pictures on my iPod which tends to make colours appear differently anyway (due to its low quality).


Is it just me or can you see the blueness to the green lenses?


I love them :x

Final words:

They are really gorgeous and I'd recommend them for people who want an enlargement but not a pair that makes them look creepy or too doll-like. The pattern is not at all crazy-looking so I reckon these are fine for day and night time wear. As I said before, I love how they look on dark eyes. I need to emphasise on the comfort of these because they seriously are one of the most comfortable lenses I have worn. I thought these would be a little difficult to put on because of the size but it wasn't a hassle at all - they fitted nicely like 14.0mm lenses.

If you're interested in purchasing a pair, MukuCHU sells EOS lenses for $20 AUD/USD a pair but I think these ones need to be be pre-ordered. Check them out here:


Thanks for reading my review, I hope that I provided enough information for you. In my previous lens reviews, I used to give 5/5 ratings for enlargement and colour etc. but I felt that those views would be a little biased. I tried to make this review with as little bias as possible but the first and foremost thing you should know is that I was randomly sent a pair of lenses to review, meaning that I wasn't given choice to pick a favourite or one that I wanted for the sake of having it. I used to choose my pair/s from MukuCHU however I have now decided that I want to be less choosy and picky with the items that I am sent to review. I don't know but I just feel better about it being like that, that's all ^_^

Anyway, I hope you didn't mind seeing my face again after a while ;;)

A random questjen for you, not in relateion to the circle lenses but to the pictures of me (oh that makes me sound do vain hahaha). I'm just curious...

Have you worn top AND bottom false lashes?

For pictures or for special events/cosplay? Often? Rarely? Never?

 My answer: Only a few times! And yes, only for pictures

I haven't worn top and bottom lashes out... I just don't feel comfortable wearing both. Even when I wear top lashes out I feel like it can be a bit too much (I'm a very simplistic girl) and I still have troubles with applying bottom lashes so when I do it successfully I feel that it's an accomplishment lol. I like the ones I've worn in the above pictures, the style looks really natural. The band isn't heaps comfortable but if I only wear them for a short period of time then it would be fine.

That's all from me. Take care, peace out. Not sure when I'll blog again as I am back to uni now but I will try to come back next week :)>-

  1. Your eyes are so beautiful... the green seriously looks so gooood!! I'm not a massive fan of circle lenses, I've owned a light brown and a grey pair and I used to scare myself in the mirror :( They do look good in photos though!!
    I've never worn bottom eyelashes.. a bit toooo overkill for me, I'm the same as you - simplistic :)

    1. Naww thanks Sue! Circle lenses don't look that great on their own, makeup needs to be worn with them to look good :) High five for simplicity xD

  2. I've never tried bottom falsies before but if needed, I'll just use mascara. I'm just not used to seeing myself with bottom falsies plus I'm gravely terrified of them dropping off lols

    1. Yeah, mascara seems to do the trick. Oh yes, I'm also terrified of my top or bottom falsies dropping >< Well I hate it when they don't stick properly after a while :|
